Luxury Holiday Homes
in Provence. In today's fast-paced
world, it is sometimes hard to believe that a place like Provence exists
at all, a place where the pace of life is slower, where the art of
living has been honed over the centuries and
is reduced to its barest essentials: sun, food, wine, good company and
relaxation... where meandering walks amongst herb-scented hillsides take
you to sleepy villages, where horizons are broken only by the pure
glare of the southern sun reflecting off the colored tiles of the roofs,
where the toughest decision you make all day
is where to have lunch...and still and quiet summer nights lure you out
to the terrace of your holiday home to sip a glass of local wine and
nibble on olives and fresh bread bought at the open-air market in the
village...Enjoy the great climate, beauty and charm of Provence in your
own villa rental and make your stay special in your holiday home.
Discover the charms of Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Gordes, Saint
Remy-de-Provence, and the charming towns and villages in this unique
area. Explore the local museums, the artist havens, the abundance of the
local markets, the culture of Provence, along with the food and wines of
the countryside.
